Integrator Channel

Overview

Integrator channels perform integration of the Primary Input, with respect to time (in seconds) to produce an output.

For example, it can be used to produce a distance output from a speed input.

Integration is effectively the area under a graph of the Primary Input on the y-axis plotted against time, in seconds, on the x-axis.

Primary Input Requirements

Integrator Channels require the Primary Input to be a rate per second (e.g. [m/s] or [m/s/s]).

Input units may be specified on the channel to ensure that an appropriate units conversion is made if the Primary Input is not with respect to seconds.

For example, if Primary Input is in units of [rpm], the input units could be set to [rps] to convert to revolutions per second for correct integration, producing a value of ‘revolutions’.
